A price is hours of your life. Our extension says how many.
While you’re on a product page, a small badge appears under the price: 3.2 hrs of work. Click it and you also see what that money could have grown to by the time you retire. Then you decide.
Free. Works with or without an account. We never receive the pages you visit.
On Brave or Arc? Use the Chrome button. Create a free account to keep it in step with your real pay.
On the product page
The price is already there. The hours aren't.
The extension finds the price on a product page and adds one line under it: how long you'd have to work to pay for it. Nothing else about the page changes.

One click
Then the part that makes you pause.
Expand the badge and it shows what the same money could grow to by your retirement age, at your own growth rate. A trade-off, shown plainly — not a prediction, and not advice.

Two ways to use it
It works with a Beyond Payday account. It also works without one.

Connect your account
Use your real income and retirement settings. Generate a token in Beyond Payday under Settings → Browser extension.
On its own
Open the popup, type your take-home pay per hour, and you’re done. Add your age and the age you want to retire and it can show the invested-instead figure too — it starts from 4% growth and age 65 until you change them. No account, no email, no sign-up.
Connected to your account
Generate a token at Settings → Browser extension, paste it into the popup, and the badge uses your real after-tax hourly wage and your own retirement settings — no re-typing when your pay changes. Revoke the token from that same page whenever you like.
Privacy
A shopping extension that doesn't watch you shop.
This is the part most price extensions get wrong, so here it is in plain words.
It reads the price. That is the whole list.
On a product page the extension looks for one thing — the price — and uses it to do the arithmetic. It does not read your cart, your account, or anything else on the page.
It only runs on supported shopping sites.
The extension is installed with permission for those retailers and nowhere else. On every other site on the internet, none of its code runs at all.
We never receive your browsing.
Not the sites you visit, not the pages you view, not the products you look at. What the extension reads on a page never leaves your browser, and the part that runs inside the page cannot make network requests.
It talks to Beyond Payday, and to nobody else.
There is no analytics service, no ad network, no third party of any kind in the extension. If you never connect an account, it makes no network calls at all.
The only thing that travels the other way is your own pay
If you connect an account, the extension asks Beyond Payday for the figures it needs to do the sum, and nothing else: your take-home and gross hourly pay, your daily take-home, your growth rate, your retirement age, and your years to retirement. No balances, no salary, no bills, no family data. The arithmetic then happens in your browser.

From the browser stores
All three listings are live, so installing is one click whichever browser you’re on. The Chrome listing also covers Brave and Arc. Safari is a separate app that’s still in review at Apple.
Questions people ask
- Do I need a Beyond Payday account?
- No. Type your take-home hourly pay into the extension's popup and it starts working. An account just means you don't have to type anything, and the numbers stay in step with your real income.
- Does it cost anything?
- No. The extension is free, and it works on a free Beyond Payday account — or on no account at all.
- Which stores does it work on?
- Product pages at Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, Walmart and Target (their .com sites) today. Each store has its own badge switch in the extension popup, plus a separate switch for search and category listing badges. Adding a store is a small change on our side, so the list grows.
- What does "if you invested it instead" mean?
- It's the same money compounded at your own growth rate until your own retirement age — a way of seeing the trade-off, not a forecast, a recommendation, or investment advice.
- What does connecting an account actually send?
- One request, to Beyond Payday, for your pay and retirement figures: your take-home and gross hourly pay, your daily take-home, your growth rate, your retirement age, and your years to retirement. No balances, no salary, no bills, no family data.
- How do I disconnect it?
- Open the popup and click Disconnect, or revoke the token from Settings → Extension in Beyond Payday. Revoking stops the extension pulling your numbers immediately.
- Which browsers is it in?
- Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge each have their own listing, so installing is one click on any of them. Brave and Arc use the Chrome listing. Safari is still in review at Apple.
- Is there a Safari version?
- It has been submitted to the Mac App Store and is in review. Safari extensions ship as a Mac app rather than a browser download, so it arrives there rather than here.
Figures shown on this page are illustrative. The invested-instead number is a compound-growth illustration using the growth rate and retirement age you choose — it is not a forecast, and Beyond Payday does not give investment advice.
Price things in hours, not dollars
A free account keeps the badge in step with your real take-home pay and your own retirement plan — and the rest of Beyond Payday comes with it.
No card to start. The extension works without an account too.
